I liked the video, he did a great job of holding my attention, as someone noted, for 10 minutes and at the end of part 1 I can say I clearly understood what he was talking about, and that's critical both when presenting to customers and pre

Good luck to all the entrants and may the force be with PG in looking through them all! Perhaps my group will be lucky enough to be a finalist invited to the meeting, despite not having an active demo that they have access to.

I applied last week with a proof of concept ready and a prototype on the horizon (it would be done before the meeting if we got selected to come). Problem is A, it's not all online and the parts that are online aren't quite ready to be see

When reading this I begin to remember an article I read on MSNBC some time ago about a sting operation in which several criminals (not violent ones, just ones wanted for robberies of various sorts) were identified and traced but were evadin

Personally, I think Vista should have kept the name "Longhorn" from development. I like the sound of "Windows 7" but I too am a bit concerned with how Windows in itself will fare with a future that looks like Vista which was, in my opinion

As it works here in the US, you can take anything you've personally wrote and go your own way with it unless the following exists... You've signed or >>cleary<< declared that you are relinquishing ownership of it to them, th

I've played the game for 2.5 years and then some on and off, and I just recently stopped playing regularly as I started getting more involved with both school and my venture. Like I said, I won't disagree with you that gold farmers are rui

While I see your point on the "What kind of serial killer are you." Things like a Bush countdown clock is a way of expressing your discontent with the current president/administration. And in the scope of things I'm not limiting it to jus

I'm not going to argue that in many senses cheats ruin the game for the greater good... I'm saying there's a better way to handle it than suing your customers. Simple bans would work. My post also is looking at a correlating problem in ter

Haha, that's pretty funny and creative. As long as nobody died, I think that guy should get a "get out of jail free card"!

Coming from the background I have, I've seen the hammer of Blizzard before. Working on some of the projects I've had I've came to have a deep running disrespect and disgust of Blizzard and its owner Vivendi. Blizzard has used its hammer nu

I am suddenly hit with this image of some mechanic who has a smoking addiction and just got done fixing a car which had a leaking gas tank come in, sit down, light up, and get on a Mac Pro which reaks for some unknown reason... =O

With me, I'm more of a business person than a coding person (though I do code)... So when I'm not explicitly working on the various aspects of my venture I am usually reading blogs and various business publications. I do read books every n

Somehow this doesn't make me feel any less like Apple is a controlling monopolistic beast. Their release about it seems somewhat condescending.

The point in this article about Expression vs. Sharing is a key point that I've always thought to be true. Facebook, in my opinion, works to shut out people's expressions. In a way, Facebook, and their management, have a conformist positi

- Code exactly what your client wants, not what you think the world wants. - I had to point this out. Having been a leader on a good amount of projects that involved programming, I have completely lost count of the number of times someone

I don't think I'm necessarily an example, but in high school I was generally a A- student who got As because of either inflation or I just sucked up to the teachers to give me an A. =P In college I'm more of a B student but I also haven't

Interesting concept... and valid points given as to why... but how is another question.

I agree with the post that not only is VC funding hard when you're working with a web-oriented project (I've tried), but in many cases its unreasonable. The relatively low operations cost has lead to making it a more viable option to make

I've noticed this in not only my current project but previous projects that I've worked on. When we're looking for someone to help do some specific programming tasks we tend to have a problem with people not really being polite in their ap

I liked the article and found it extremely interesting how easy it was for him to circumvent the lines and policies of these places and get service that could in many ways be considered "above the rest." However, in the mind of an entrepren

Under most circumstances I would not and have not hired any programmer who could not provide some sort of demonstration program with a clean source and stable compile (depending on the language).

I think its a very good concept and, from my personal research with my own start-up, an industry with a lot of potential for growth. The question is, what is it that will seperate you out specifically from the rest of these CMS and similar

I like the concept of it but the layout of the results page is...well... not so good. I, like others, was impressed by the results I got for my search, but it was hard to tell what I was looking at for a minute. I didn't instantly know th
